This invention relates to a perfumed ear attachment, and its leading object is to provide a member with a' charge of concentrated perfume, which will slowly dissipate its strength, so that it will last for a very long period of time, and proinvention consists in certain new and useful con-' structions, combinations, and arrangements of parts, clearly described in the following specifications, and fully illustrated in the drawing, in

which: i

Fig. 1 is a side view, showing one form of an ornament.

Fig. 2 is a side view showing a pearl ornament.

Fig. 3 is a central sectional view of the form shown in Fig. l.

, Fig. 4 is a similar view of the form shown in- Fig. 2, showing a screw connection.

Fig. 5 is an end view of the form shown in Fig. 1, enlarged.

Fig. 6 is a vertical sectional view of a modified form.

Referring to the drawing illustrating the practical construction of the invention, 5 designates an ornament, which may be made of wood or other material, suitably enameled or finished. This ornament is attached to the ear lobe by means of the yoke B, which includes a cup shaped base I, and the screw threaded arm 8, through which the clamping screw 9 is threaded.

The cup shaped base 1 is of approximately circular shape and is fitted over an annular shoulder I formed on the side of the ornament 5. The annular edge of the base 1 is then secured to the shoulder by means of rubber latex cement, or a nitro-cellulose adhesive, containing amyl acetate.

A charge of concentrated perfume in the form of pliable particles l I is placed in the cup-shaped base beforethe same is secured in place by means of the adhesive. The charge is thus largely protected and wholly concealed. As the perfume is very penetrating and the wood ornament is porous, the perfume will penetrate through the wood, and permeate the atmosphere.

In Figs. 2 and 4 we-shdw another form of the invention, wherein a small ornament l2, in the form of a pearl is used. This ornament is secured to the yoke I3 by means of the screw A, the end oi.

which is soldered or otherwise connected to the base cup l of the yoke I3. The adjacent portion of the ornament may be formed with a pocket It to receive the charge of concentrated perfume l1. The yoke 13 is equipped with the clamping screw IQ for attaching the ornament to the ear of a person.

In Fig. 6 we show another form of the invention, wherein the yoke I8 is provided with a cup-shaped base 19, to which a tubular container 20 is attached, by solder or otherwise. In this container the concentrated perfume is placed. The tubular container is inserted in a hole formed in theornament 2|, and this tube may be held in place by cement or by means of the pin 22, which is driven through the ornament at an angle to produce a wedging action to force the tube inwardly, the in-. ner end of the pin being driven through the container tube, which is formed with a hole for this purpose.

The rear end of the container tube may be formed with one or more small holes 23, which discharge the perfume vapor into the pocket 24 concealed by the cup shaped base l9, so that it may escape from the device and permeate the atmosphere. The base l9 may be also secured in place by a suitable adhesive, of the type indicated.

The base I9 is clamped to theear of the user by means of the screw 25, which is threaded through the outer arm of the yoke, in the manner previously indicated.

The invention provides a practical means for carrying perfume, without wasting it, or causing an excessive odor from it, and permits of the use and an indefinite number of different ornaments,

with a low cost connector. vThe concentrated substance of an organic holding fat or extract is employed in which the perfume essence is absorbed. Through this the vapor or fume produced by the perfume may escape to permeate the atmosphere.

We claim as new:-

, 1. An ear ornament and a connector therefor, the connector having a cup-shaped base secured against the side of the ornament to provide a holding pocket and provided with a charge of concentrated perfume combined with an organic holding fat.

2. An ear ornament and a connector therefor, the connector consisting of a yoke having a base provided with a cupshaped member and the omament having an annular shoulder on which the cupshaped member is mounted and secured in side thereof, a connector having a cup sealed on said raised portion and providing a restricted hold ing chamber between itself'and said raised portion, a charge of concentrated perfume disposed in said chamber and including an organic iat adapted to prevent the excess of discharge of the perfume, said connector being provided with car clamping means.
